Call for Panellists: Queering Environmental Justice through Methods of 
Art and Activism.

Annual International Conference.
Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers 
(RGS-IBG).

Conveners: Martin Zebracki & Maria Rovisco, University of Leeds

Session format: In-person
Proposed date: 31 August 2023

We invite expressions of interest from colleagues at all career stages 
and from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to participate in our proposed 
panel. The panel aims to explore the potential of methods of art and 
activism, or ‘artivism’, in examining the relationship between social 
inequality and environmental justice.

We are particularly interested in investigating the roles of artivism in 
addressing the impact of severe and sudden environmental changes on 
marginalised communities, with a focus on gender and sexual minorities.

The panel aims to initiate a dialogue between scholars working with 
diverse epistemologies and geographical contexts, and we especially 
welcome contributions focusing on Global South communities.

Panellists will be requested to submit a position statement in advance 
of the panel, to facilitate critical exchange and discussion of 
innovative approaches, opportunities, as well as challenges related to 
the use of artivist methods.

We are keen to discuss any plans for outputs with the participants 
following the event.

By 17 March, please submit your expression of interest via this form
